An historic cellar, a captivating story, and outstanding wines: these are the pillars of this remarkable experience in the heart of Umbria.
If you enjoy wine and love discovering authentic wineries, this is an essential addition to your travel itinerary.
The Sagrantino area is the most renowned wine district in Umbria. Here, many cellars are small family-run estates that have passed down the ancient craft of winemaking for generations. A tasting in a traditional Montefalco winery offers not only the chance to explore local labels, but also the opportunity to immerse yourself in a genuine cultural experience marked by warmth and hospitality.
This particular cellar is among the oldest in the Montefalco area. Originally built in the nineteenth century, it has been carefully renovated and upgraded with state-of-the-art viticulture equipment since the mid-20th century, blending historical charm with modern winemaking techniques.
To elevate your visit, you will enjoy a sensorial food-and-wine pairing designed to highlight the character of Scacciadiavoli wines. The tasting includes seven labels, each matched with a gourmet bite:
• Spumante Metodo Classico Pas Dosé – Parmigiano Reggiano DOP
• Spumante Metodo Classico Rosé – Schiacciata and Norcia IGP ham “Nonno Amilcare”
